Rainy Chicago (Day 3)!!!

On the Trolley...


Waiting for the next trolley. We were miserable outside.


We went back to the Sears Tower so Em could
go up to the top, but there was 0% visibility.


The kids got Garretts Popcorn, Oprah's Favorite


On the Trolley again with their popcorn and
collector penny books.


The kids with Sue, the T-Rex at the Field Museum.
We made sure to go back to the museum so Hunter
could see the dinosaurs, since he is obsessed!


Hunter with his favorite dinosaur, Triceratops!




With a full-size Triceratops...





With a headless Stegasaurus




In an Apatasaurus fossil footprint!




With their caricatures they had done at the Navy Pier...




Ugghh...what a cold, wet, windy, dreary Chicago day!




At Ruth's Chris for Sabryn's 6th birthday!




My carpaccio...yep raw tenderloin! Yummy!




Em with her stuffed mushrooms!




Hmmm...which dessert does Sabryn want?




Can't decide? Have them all!




Make a wish!

Chicago (Day 2 cont.)!!!

The Field Museum

Hunter thought it looked like the museum from
the movie The Night at the Museum. We got
there too late that day to go in, though. : (


First Chicago Dog! Yum!





At this place called A*Mazing. It was a cool maze
at the Navy Pierwith fun mirrors and other illusions.

Sabryn kept running into the mirror walls! Megan
was NOT a fan of the maze at all!





Hunter had a great time with his Aunt Lacey!





Hunter confidently making his way through
the maze.


Most people had a hard time getting
through this spinning tunnel. Hunter
didn't have a problem with it and wanted
me to take this picture of him making
fun of those who didn't like it!


Wow! I actually have some long legs!


First...


Second...


Having fun with the air bursts!


I think Lacey did it better!


End of the maze...we kept getting "lost again"!

Chicago (Day 2)!!!

Yep! I did a little graffiti myself!

Anxious for our Deep Dish Pizzas!


Sabryn eating Calamari for the first time and
loving it! Now, she wants to order it everywhere
we go!


We ordered both Cheeseburger and Sausage
Deep Dish pizzas! Yumm!








Sabryn dressed for the pool, but
bundled up since it was really cold!

The Melting Pot

Fun times at the Melting Pot with Jenn, Heather, and Briana!

They roasted a pig in a box and it was delicious!

Eating strawberry shortcake with a decent amount of whipped cream!

Easter

Easter Bunny brought some fun goodies!


Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's on Easter
(yes, in March!)

Hunter and Sabryn with Cooper and Caden

Caden and Cooper are the kids' good friends
who moved to Arizona a couple years ago. So,
they were really excited to see each other again.


Here are pics of the kids walking to school, and
at school, when Hunter and Caden were in Kindergarten
in August 2005

Decorating Easter Eggs

The kids decorated eggs with Kelly. Sabryn made
hers all sparkly and Hunter's eggs had dinosaurs
hatching out of them.
